P11C-X/AUDIO is a server motherboard based on the Intel^® Xeon^® E platform and Intel^® C242 chipset offering dual Intel^® Ethernet and flexible expandability with dual M.2, six native SATA 6G, two PCIe, and two PCI slots for legacy devices.

The layout is rack-optimized placement where the CPU and memory are placed in a parallel arrangement directly behind the fan inlet to promote maximum cooling for excellent thermal efficiency.

P11C-X/AUDIO comes with dual M.2 support up to 22110-length M.2 drives via PCIe or SATA with auto-switch signal function. In performance-maximizing RAID 0 configurations with dual M.2 SSDs, write speeds are up to 40% faster than a single M.2 SSD drive setup and read operations are an astonishing 84% faster. Or, for total reassurance, pair your M.2 devices into a RAID 1 configuration for instant data redundancy.

With dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet connectors, P11C-X/AUDIO keeps your data moving swiftly and efficiently. With both LAN ports teamed you'll benefit from increased bandwidth for more speed, automated load balancing for smoother data flows, and instant failover if anything goes wrong — so access to your files is always fast, efficient and uninterrupted.

P11C-X/AUDIO provides instant system information during initialization as well as any unusual diagnostic results for more efficient IT operation and easy troubleshooting.

ASUS ProCool is designed without hollow area, this enables lower impedance, facilitates faster heat dissipation, resulting in cooler operating temperature. Reduces power loss and increases cost savings.
